If money was not a problem, I would be throwing the biggest, fanciest bash in San Francisco, and inviting everyone to come and party the night away… helping me to celebrate 25 years as an ordained Wiccan High Priestess. And those of you who live a distance away need not worry… you would find a [...]

Where were you born? I was born deaf to an all-hearing family in southern Indiana, on the banks of the Ohio River. I grew up going to hearing schools, and then attended Gallaudet College (now University) where I received my BA degree in Psychology. Since then I’ve been something of a gypsy, traveling around to [...]

As Pagans around the United States and the Northern Hemisphere prepare for Samhain, probably the holiest of the eight Sabbats in the Wheel of the Year – which occurs on October 31st/November 1st, I would like to take a moment to talk about one of the traditions of Samhain… from a Deaf perspective. Many Pagan [...]

Okay folks! Here’s the next Wicca Test! This one has to do with intolerance, and it asks a lot of questions which relate to how Wicca, Witchcraft, and Paganism have been intolerated throughout history. For many of you this test will likely be difficult, especially if you haven’t studied much about the history of Paganism. [...]
Reasonable Accomodations for Closed Captioned Televisions?
Posted in Archives #1 Deafness and Accessibility, Creating Accessibility, Deaf/Hearing Relations, Deafness, Empowerment, Equal Communication Access, Uncategorized on Thursday August 21 2008 | 14 Comments »
Are employers required to assure that televisions in private residences where they employ staff to care for clients are closed captioned for any deaf or hard of hearing staff to be able to enjoy watching television the same as the hearing staff do? Would this fall under the category of “reasonable accommodations”, even if the [...]

Not too long ago, I published a post here at the Crossroads entitled “Too Deaf? Too Pagan? Too Firewalking?” This post was written as a response to a comment which was left on yet another one of my posts here on this blog… a comment which I found to be rather interesting. This reader was [...]
This sculpture shows the sign for "connect"...and that is what Deaf Pagan Crossroads is all about - making connections. Connections between Deafhood and Paganism, connections between the Deaf Community and the Hearing Community, connections between myself as the writer and you as the reader. I hope you will take the time to read my various posts, some of which are listed below. Welcome to the Crossroads, and I hope you make some connections here!
